How was last week?
- Meditating and pre-visualizing before work was great. When I meditate, I focus on my breath and occasionally saying the word “Notice”, which means, “Notice your head-neck relationship” (via Alexander Technique). When I pre-vis, I visually imagine myself going through my day, even simple things like, “myself at the computer working diligently”.
- I’m failing to work a full 8 hours, due to fatigue, restlessness, social obligations, and getting a late start. I’m not prepared to lower the goal, though — wary of Drift to Low Performance (via Thinking in Systems).
- “Record & export music track” was fun; on Wednesday I made a legitimately uplifting and exciting song. But Thursday and Friday’s were some of the worst music I’ve ever heard. I have trouble creating when I’m not inspired.
- “In bed by 11pm” is a joke. Getting lots of sleep is the first defense against ‘going crazy’, which is why I have it on here. But 11pm is such a brittle and unachievable goal. Next week I will simply log my bedtime.
Overall I was very happy. I was surprised at how much work got done. At the same time, I’m eager to create this week’s Standards (even though Thanksgiving is going to break things up).
